This week you are going to hear a special ‘FIRST’ on this podcast. If you’ve been following along, you’ve probably noticed there’s an abundance of women and mama bears out there who have bravely come on and shared their testimonies about programming, SRA, and human trafficking, but what I haven’t yet had the opportunity to feature is a strong, male survivor with similar experiences. Don’t get me wrong - there have been many prolific male survivors and whistleblowers out there who broke the barriers for survivors and men alike to have a voice in this conversation. From James Casbolt to Paul Bonacci to Matthew Pauly (just to name a few) - this movement would NOT be where it is today without the important voices and testimonies of these brave men who have risked it all to share with us. And this week, I want to add a special name and voice to this short list of incredible male survivors. Introducing: Monarch survivor and whistleblower, voice for the voiceless, survivor ally and advocate, host of ‘Grey Area’ podcast, owner and founder of ‘Organize Safety’, and someone who has already had a tremendous impact on my own life and heart, ‘Grey’!
When I first met Grey, I was absolutely blown away by the short synopsis of his story he shared and even moreso after hearing the longer version in a future conversation. Every survivor story is a puzzle piece and Grey’s story touched on aspects of this big picture that I knew would serve as valuable and important for all of YOU listening to hear. But there was something else about Grey that’s important that I want all of you to take away today. I fully expected and was prepared to hear about the horrific crimes and abuses that were perpetrated on him as a child. What I wasn’t expecting (and what I know he will never give himself the credit he deserves for) was to see with my own eyes the outpouring of support, help, and guidance he gives to survivors and those within the survivor community completely behind the scenes, completely free, and completely from the heart. The only thing more inspiring than learning about how Grey defied all the odds his perpetrators set against him with a miraculous journey of awakening and healing - is to see how he turned his pain into selfless acts of kindness done in private for complete strangers and into developing meaningful projects for survivors and the survivor community that come from the heart. He’s been a tremendous support and donor to my podcast and platform as well and I’m honored to share him with all of you today. What this movement and world truly need are more strong, courageous, and selfless men like Grey.
For safety precautions to protect his identity due to the sensitive nature of this exposAY and information, Grey will be using a voice modification device and will have his camera off. I ask that you all please give your undivided attention to Grey and to grab a pen and paper so you can take some notes. I’m sure you’ll be learning a lot of new things today just as I have! We’ll not only be diving into his testimony and upcoming projects you can look forward to, but Grey will also be speaking on some survivor related topics that we hope offer you some additional insight into programming and mind control, abuse from a male’s perspective, healing, and breaking stigmas and stereotypes and more.
